Feasibility and performance of breath-hold 3D true-FISP coronary MRA using self-calibrating parallel acquisition.

abstract：:Frequency-modulated (FM) pulses have practical advantages for spin-echo experiments, such as the ability to produce a broadband pi rotation, with an inhomogeneous radiofrequency (RF) field. However, such use leads to a nonlinear phase of the transverse magnetization, which is why FM pulses like the hyperbolic secant (...
